In 30 years time Salmond will be long dead and the North Sea oil will have run out. Unless Scotland magically comes up with some other means of funding itself then independance will be a death sentence for them.
They were planning to use Alex Salmond to fund independance? How would that have worked?
But frankly, you're also ignoring what's been actually happening: such an ambassador catching Ebola in one country, knowingly returning to another (via air travel), then staying in a hotel without telling anyone being treated in secret by a doctor, who also doesn't tell anyone, goes home, and spreads it to his wife.
Queue a couple 1000 potentially infected, by a vector which would be utterly missed due to plain old corruption and idiocy.
But that's exactly what as already happended and lead to 21 cases and 7 deaths, not a world wide pandemic.
Why would they "flee"? Banks are in business to make money, and you make money by doing business, not by closing the shop. If RBS, Clydesdale and the Bank of Scotland make the insane decision not to offer banking services in Scotland then someone else will.
The UK has no "ground-based nuclear deterrent". The only nukes the UK fields are Trident.
Assuming Scotland (stays in, joins)(*) NATO then it will be protected by the US, French and rUK nuclear deterrents, just like all other NATO countries.
((*) delete as appropriate - It depends if Scotland is considered as a succesor state to the UK or not).

This isn't about a 1959 Corvette. It's about a 1959 garbage truck.
That would be cool.
This is only a '63, but look at it: http://www.refusetruckphotography.com/keyword/1959/
Needs a little work, but...
Someone who's sig references WWW complaining about a joke being ruined by someone being pedantic about MMM?
For servers, I'm using an older PE2950 with 15 drives running FreeNAS and Plex.
Ow! Power bills!
(Not to mention noise).
(Ah, you did mention it, sorry).
I can stream at least up to the speed of my internet connection (50mbit) from anywhere in the house
There's your problem, right there.
Your internet connection is too slow.
Scotch tape comes from Minesota, not Scotland.
socially and racially divided,
Scotland says: Fuck off you racist shit.

Ug, have you seen his pasty fat smelly kids. Rather you than me.
Please, start describing the contributions to civilization and world culture that came from North America,
Celine Dion?
I'm pretty sure the Nazis were also pretty big on science (and technology).
Had a few problems with some physics however. "Jewish Science". May have been one of the things that slowed down their bomb projects.
if it happened in north america or the EU they'd quarantine the areas and the people inside would be super pissed but likely understanding mostly.
maybe in Europe because they're used to their governments telling them what to do.
Bullshit.
In Europe we have functional health systems and governments that understand that violent force is not the appropriate response to disease.

deploying military forces on the borders of these countries
You are an idiot. What on earth do you imagine the "borders" of Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea look like?
How many dead or sick people before we stop worrying about feelings and sensibilities?
Well, your plan seems to be for somewhere between 10 and 20 million.
Idiot.
Like I said, move to a civilised coudntry that doesn't have a health system invented by US republicans.
What oil shares? Nothing in that article says Gore owns oil shares.
but to move their head quarters. Which dictates where the tax revenue goes.
Balls. Do business in a country, pay whatever taxes the country wants to levy.

I'll buy that GW is dangerous when ALGORE sells his beach house
The beach house that's 2 miles from the beach, at an elevation of 510 feet?
Move to a civilised country.
Oh yes it is.
there will be no local banks, access to EU markets and the freedom of movement will be curtailed,
Access to EU markets and freedom of movement are things to be negociated but "no local banks" - WTF?

Maybe you'd better stick to Cobol then.
Huh? Sausage, bacon, fried egg, baked beans, tomato, fried bread. (I don't much like the black pudding).
Let me know when you find a DVD copy of "Let me tell ya 'bout Black Girls".
